shipGoogle's video model with native audio generation — the current quality leader.
journal entry · observed by @whysanesanders · verified 2026-08-15
The quality benchmark right now: physics, lip-sync and native sound are a generation ahead. Expensive per second, so use it for final shots, not for iteration.
Known limitations
- Per-second API pricing is steep for experimentation.
- Access tiers and quotas across Gemini/Flow/Vertex are confusing.
- Roughly 8-second clip limit per generation.
